Motorists have been issued a warning over 'copycat' websites that overcharge people for middle-man services.
These websites claim to offer drivers who are unsure how to renew their licence some assistance, but could end up charging them a major premium. Despite charging motorists upwards of £60, they aren't always needed and in some cases do not reduce the paperwork that an applicant would have to fill in.
The DVLA was contacted by members of the public 1,210 times regarding these middle-man websites in 2021. The agency reminds motorists that they are not connected to DVLA in any way.
